Fervent February

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Sunday run made impossible by this: http://tinyurl.com/yzl2fb5 - we were 1 of the 1,000 calls made to the State Emergency Service last night after two of our rooms were inundated and one ceiling collapsed under the weight of 200mm (8 inches) of rain in just a few hours... I tell you, this country has more extreme weather than you can shake a stick at. Droughts, floods and sometimes seemingly not an awful lot in between.

So instead of running, today was spent mopping up and cramming two rooms' worth of stuff into half a room, in which I am now perching, squashed into a corner and looking wistfully at my training schedule having vanished in this week's rain.

Oh well. We got off lightly compared to Haiti et al. What's a little chaos and a messed up training schedule compared to some of the real drama going on around the planet? At least I'm dry now and everyone's safe and well here.

I'll start my training again in a couple of days time.
